Answer: positive
Step-by-step explanation:
1st you need to fine the slope using
S = y2-y1/x2-x1
S = -6 - 3/2-2
S = -9/0
S = Undefined
when we have undefined slope the equation would be a vertical lines.
Thus the equation would be the x value of the point
Thus the equation is x = 2
x-intercept is for y = 0.
Put y = 0 to the equation of a linear function:
4x - 3(0) = 24
4x - 0 = 24
4x = 24 <em>divide both sides by 4</em>
x = 6
<h3>Answer: x-intercept = 6 → (6, 0)</h3>
Answer:
The angle the wire now subtends at the center of the new circle is approximately 145.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of the arc formed by the piece of wire = 15 cm
The angle subtended at the center of the circle by the arc, θ = 68°
The radius of the circle to which the piece of wire is reshaped to = 7 cm
Let 'L' represent the length of the wire
By proportionality, we have;
L = (θ/360) × 2 × π × r
L = (68/360) × 2 × π × 15 cm = π × 17/3 = (17/3)·π cm
Similarly, when the wire is reshaped to form an arc of the circle with a radius of 7 cm, we have;
L = (θ₂/360) × 2 × π × r₂
∴ θ₂ = L × 360/(2 × π × r₂)
Where;
θ₂ = The angle the wire now subtends at the center of the new circle with radius r₂ = 7 cm
π = 22/7
Which gives;
θ₂ = (17/3 cm) × (22/7) × 360/(2 × (22/7) × 7 cm) ≈ 145.7°.
